This for me shows the true character and style of #Priorat #Priorato a blend of #carignane #cariñena and #garnacha with that pure concentrated #mediterranean style and an excellent maturing in oak. — 3 years ago

I enjoyed it because for me, this shows true #Carignane typicity. High acid, tangy crunchy, red Apple aromas and flavors. Rich ripe fruit. Subtle sweet spice. This #carignan it reminded me a lot of the #cariñena I make. — 3 years ago
I’m not that into this one. It HAS TO BE ICONIC. But Iconic leads to over extracted over sexed over. Just lacking finesse. Lacking intrigue. Don’t get me wrong. It’s delicious and I don’t mind drinking it and can age in the bottle but it’s missing it’s MOJO. #petitesirah #alicantebouschet #zinfandel and #carignane #sonoma #sonomacounty — 4 years ago
To my taste, the best year-in, year-out red of French Catalonia. The confit red fruits, pie spice, bramble and wood smoke on the nose make you think it’s going to be a sledgehammer...and then it’s all elegance, filigree and lift on the palate, as it’s only 12.5% alcohol. Simple, non-interventionist vinification, but none of that natural bullshit. Everything in perfect order. #rocdesanges #roussillon #grenache #syrah #carignane — 5 years ago
Very nice #Montsant it is a blend with #Garnacha and #Carignane and it seemed very fresh, very juicy and we drank the whole bottle in a flash. It’s lighter and less Mediterranean than other Monstsant. Fair price, quite reasonable — 2 years ago
I love it. #carignan #carignane #zinfandel #petitesyrah #syrah #alicantebouschet #monastrell #garnachatintorera #mourvedre #barbera #sonoma #sonomacounty it has this complexity and balance due to the blend that intrigues me and keeps me coming back for more. #ravenswood also incredibly fresh for 2014 vintage. Can age. — 4 years ago

THIS IS NOT TEMPRANILLO. This is #mazuela #mazuelo from a #singlevineyard. One of the best #carignane ever. Tart. Red fruit. #riojabaja #riojaoriental #rioja — 6 months ago
